In 2009, I wrote a short story about an awkward conversation on a subway. I submitted it to a small scholarship contest, placed fourth and won $200 and a trip to a Writers’ Conference in Oregon. It was the first money I ever made with my writing.

Preparation in Pockets is the adult version of that story. In 2009, it was only a thousand words: the maximum allowed in the contest. I’ve added about 600 words, given our protagonist more of a backbone, and ended on a note of… not hope, but determination. I value determination more than hope. Hope allows for an attempt but determination gets things done.

You all can read the header, so you know where to find samples of my writing and comedy, as well as my social media. This page will be devoted to news and random musings so here we go:

News:

I will be performing standup on April 18th at Flapper’s Comedy Club in Burbank! Buy tickets here!

Random Musings:

First posts are hard, and they make me anxious! Of course, anxiety is the permanent undercurrent of my life, so I should be fine with this. I’ve wanted my own website for a while, so people can read my work, publish my work or hire me to do more work! I love work! I love writing! Why does writing about work make me nervous?

Questions for my therapist.

It’s probably because this is an introduction. Meeting new people is hard, even through screens. I’d love to jump into the middle of my career without having to introduce myself. Can’t we just instinctively know people? Is that an option?

The internet counts as a therapist, right?

Anyway, this is my website! Click on the other pages. Watch a video or read a story! If you like what you see, toss me an email or comment! I’ll see you all real soon!
